Drew Van Acker Wife, Girlfriend, Gay, Dating

Van Acker’s character on Pretty Little Lairs romanced many women from Aria Montgomery to CeCe Drake and Ashley Marin. However, in real life, Acker seems to be less of a playboy. To answer the question about his sexuality, Drew Van Acker is NOT GAY!

He has been linked to two women; actresses Troian Bellisario and Markie Adams. His relationship with the former was never confirmed. Also, Bellisario in 2016 tied the knot to Patrick J Adams, Suit fans know him better as Mike Ross.

On the other hand, Acker’s relationship with Markie Adams is SO REAL. The duo was linked with each other in 2014 when they began posting several photos of themselves on social media, especially Instagram which per BuzzFeed is Van’s favorite social media platform.

Markie Adams is yet to get her Hollywood breakthrough. However, while she’s at it, she has featured in lesser-known films like In The Dark (2013), Wingman Inc. (2015), The Morning After (2015) and Dutch Hollow. Like his bae Van, Markie has a thing for astrology.

Judging from the photos, these two do know how to have fun and fans can’t help but wish that their long-term relationship remain that way. Only time will tell if Adams would be the one Van would choose to wife. Fingers crossed…
